Thank everything we have Twitch so people who can't actually build decks can play Hearthstone too. I don't know what I would do if people didn't just play whatever the most popular streamer was playing.
I don't know man, just about every Midrange Paladin I have fought today has been running Tusker Jouster. And the body makes it a huge pain in the ass to fight.
Does armor negate fatigue damage?
It's a 5/5 for 5, that's pretty vanilla. If the healing is clutch would you really want to flip a coin on whether you heal? I'd rather run Loatheb.

Haha, guy plays his Varian Wrynn, doesn't draw a single creature.

Not negate as such, but it gets used up first.

And yet it's still awesome!
You usually want the healing against aggro decks and you should win the Joust like 90% of the time against them. Against Control the 5/5 body is better, you don't really need the heal as much.
Playing against that card all day and it does work. Certainly not bad.
Yeah, today has been insanely fun.
yep Totemic Might is amazing in this deck

Totem Shaman and Dragon Priest certainly seem to be the early favorites in this new pack. Maybe it's time to run some owls.
BANANAS FOR EVERYONE!

I wonder if Kodorider will find a home in Druid. Seems to work reasonably well.
Mind control tech, too.
Shaman having four minions on the board at turn 3 is ridiculous.
Jungle Panther into Wildwalker is a pretty awesome play in Beast Druid. I think I broke a few brains with that one.
The fact that I have 6 stealth minions in my deck also gives some pretty significant reach to FoN+SavageRoar.

Sorry to hear that, man!
Maybe a break or just some messing around with new archtypes might bring back the spark!
check out this arena totem shaman

Heartharena categorize totem golem as a strict 3 drop which screws up a bunch of the game math IMO, it got quite aggressive trying to push additional 2-drops on me (I would have loved the 2nd juggler but still)

I'm not totally convinced about the new shaman, although playing it I enjoyed it much. Mistcaller seems better than I anticipated, although it does still seem pretty slow it has some heavy value in longer matches.
Out of all the decks I tested (mostly shaman and rogue atm, but I did some beast hunter), I think shaman has some real potential and I did enjoy it so I'll probably focus on that tomorrow, at least for testing new decks.
But for ranked ladder, I've ended up just playing oil rogue. If the meta slows down or if shamans become popular, I think oil rogue is in a unique position to take advantage of that. Without the super ultra fast aggro decks, I like rogue's chances at staying relevant. And maybe there are a trick or two in TGT I haven't thought of to make a TGT oil rogue.

Thoughts on putting Deathwing into Control Warrior for Varian pulls?
Also Bash is in fact quite good.

Pirates.
I think Iron Jugg could actually see play now. Control Warrior with Justicar can very effectively bring the game to fatigue and win.
Your opponents will eventually run out of cards even if they somehow survive all the shit you throw at them like playing 15 mana worth of minions for free in one turn. Even if you run out of cards they might not be able to kill you, they will eventually go into top decking mode and you can constantly escape lethal range against classes like mage that rely on burn spells to finish, it's not all that different for other classes. Mirror match probably goes to fatigue. A card like Iron Jugg could be pretty good now.
People comparing it with another shield maiden and how it takes three turn for it to be better are completely missing the point of this setup. Constant escape from lethal range is all it takes to win most games, over three turns it's 12 armor for no cards spent. How much damage you can dish out burning your cards? How can you actually refill to deal even more damage? And playing free taunts with Varian pushes the whole thing over the top. It's definitely OP, calling it now it will be the new standard complaint on reddit and elsewhere in a month.
--------------------
Totem shamans so far, yeaaah. well it's better than mech but it's not going to take over the ladder or anything. I feel some classes with weak aoe might have problems with but it should be fine. If it somehow becomes too popular, cards like Baron Geddon are there to wreck it. It's a bit slow to get anywhere, slower than zoo. I don't think it will be all that strong.

The text doesn't care if the murloc is friendly or not.
I can tell you've never watched a murloc mirror match.

Opened 52 packs and only got Dreadscale and Justicar >_<
I think I'll wait til the meta settles down a bit before I decide what to craft with my 1600 dust.
